This Johnson Brothers piece carries all three qualities — a generous oval form, a storybook blue-and-white landscape and the kind of durable ironstone made to be reached for rather than kept behind glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eTulip Time\u003c\/em\u003e pattern is an unusual and charming departure from Johnson Brothers’ more familiar English countryside scenes, depicting a nostalgic Dutch landscape with windmills, sailing boats, swans, a church and four girls in a tulip field. The softly scalloped rim and blue floral sprays give it a lovely presence on a dining table. Perfect for serving vegetables, bread or a generous salad, it would also make a considered centrepiece beneath a small arrangement of flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduced in 1962, \u003cem\u003eTulip Time\u003c\/em\u003e was produced through the 1960s and 1970s. The reverse carries the pattern’s distinctive blue backstamp, including the original wording “A Genuine Hand Engraving — All Decoration Under The Glaze — Detergent \u0026amp; Acid Resisting Colour”, a reminder of the period’s enthusiasm for practical, decorative family tableware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Johnson Brothers (Johnson Bros)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eTulip Time\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oval vegetable serving bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-Century Modern, approximately 1960s–1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Staffordshire, England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glazed ironstone \/ semi-porcelain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23.5 cm long × 19 cm wide × 5.5 cm high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 417 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegistered design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pat No. 192,969\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed vintage condition.
